<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;punctuation-wrap:simple;text-autospace:none;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">1221 Avenue of the
Americas, known as The McGraw-Hill Companies building, is an approximately 2.55
million square foot, 50 story class &#147;A&#148; office building located in Rockefeller
Center.&#160; The property is 100% leased to
tenants including The McGraw-Hill Companies, Rockefeller Group International,
Inc., Morgan Stanley, Soci&#233;t&#233; G&#233;n&#233;rale and J.P. Morgan Chase &amp; Co.&#160; The McGraw-Hill Companies has owned its
interest and maintained a significant presence in the building since its

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;punctuation-wrap:simple;text-autospace:none;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The purchase price of
$450 million was reduced by an amount equal to 45% of underlying property
ownership indebtedness in the amount of $175 million, provided by Wachovia
Capital Markets, LLC and was paid in cash. The Company funded the cash
component, in part, with proceeds from its offering of approximately $158
million Series C Redeemable Preferred Stock that closed earlier in the
month.&#160; The balance of the proceeds was
funded with the Company&#146;s unsecured line of credit and a $100 million term loan
provided by Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.</font></p>

million was reduced by an amount equal to 45% of underlying property ownership
indebtedness in the amount of $175 million, provided by Wachovia Capital

part, with proceeds from its offering of approximately $158 million Series C

the Company&#146;s unsecured line of credit and a $100 million term loan provided by
